Kristen Andreasson had anew ship delivered in 1929. It was built in Marstrand, Sweden, and was one of the very first ships of its kind, a purpose-built bunker vessel. This ship was also named Anna-Mari.

Sven-Olof Kristensson purchased anotherShell tanker, the Nerita of 460 dwt, built at Eriksberg, Gothenburg, in 1937. Tärntank Rederi AB resolutely put a higher bid than the previous bidder and closed the deal by December and renamed the tanker to Tärntank.

In 1972 Sven-Olof Kristenssonwent ashore after several years at sea to manage the family business. By then the office of Tärntank was situated in the home of his mother, Karin her husband Reverend Olle Nordin.

In 1974, the companytook delivery of a new tanker, M/T Tärnhav, built with a double hull, decades before this became mandatory. Tärntank also acquired the shipyard on Donsö, which gave room for office facilities but also smooth access to service of the company’s own tankers.

Despite a weak market,Tärntank Rederi AB could take delivery of another Tärnsjö, the fourth tanker with that name. She was built by Kvaerner Kleven in Leirvik, Norway, and had a deadweight of 10,887 tons.

When Tärnholm was deliveredfrom China it was the last of four ships. The four tankers built there for Tärntank Rederi AB were named the Tärnvik, Tärnhav, Tärnvåg and Tärnholm, all with a deadweight just below 15,000 tons.

The Ship Energy EfficiencyManagement Plan will become mandatory in 2013. Tärntank Rederi AB started to implement it already in 2011. By taking action in several areas Tärntank Rederi AB expect to reduce air emissions considerably.

Terntank ordered two more15,000 dwt product tankers from the Chinese shipyard Avic Dingheng Shipbuilding Co.,Ltd. The extended order in April 2014 is a total of four. Terntank is also adding the new vessel Ternvind, former Sakarya built in Daersan Shipyard, Turkey 2008.
